What Would Gritty Odourless Grey Substance From Ear Be?
I am a 26 yo f. I was cleaning my ears and went in too deep on my right ear. It hurt a little bit but when I pulled out the qtip I pulled out small pebbles ( kitty litter is the best way to describe it) I put a clean qtip back in and pulled out a couple more little pebbles and then nothing. They are grey in color. No odor or discomfort any more. What could this be??!

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
The greyish substances could be cerumen present in the external ear. I doubt any damage to the ear drum or else, there would been blood stains over the q-tip.
Regards
